Dealing with all that licensed stuff is a problem too as there's too many hoops to jump to get a "cut-down, limited content sample" to demo.
"Due to the nature of the game, and its layers of licensed content, it will not be possible to make a cut-down, limited content sample that would serve as a demo for F1 in 2010 within our production deadlines," said community manager Ian Webster, post Codies.
F1 2010 releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC September 30th.
